Fuzzy alignment of zone surfaces
                                        You can perform a fuzzy alignment for zone surfaces in the network. Then the points of a surface are moved, within a defined threshold, towards a reference surface. This allows you to remove unwanted overlaps or gaps (Fundamentals: Fuzzy surface alignment).

                                                         Note: When importing shapefiles, you can specify whether you want to perform a fuzzy surface alignment (Importing Shapefiles).  | 
                                                
1. If required, set the zones active whose surfaces you want to fuzzy align via
- the spatial selection (Setting network objects active/passive via the spatial selection) and/or
 - filter criteria (Using filters to set network objects active or passive).
 
The selected zones are active.
2.  In the Network editor window, click the Edit mode icon 
.
3. In the Network window, right-click the Zones button.
A shortcut menu opens.
4. Select the Fuzzy surface alignment entry.
The Fuzzy surface alignment window opens.
5. Make the desired changes.

                                                         Enter a value for the tolerance range. The tolerance range specifies the radius within which the points of a surface may be moved. If you enter 0 for a surface set, it becomes a reference set and is not moved.  |

                                                         Deletes the surface set selected. Note To select multiple surface sets, hold down the Ctrl key and click the desired entries.  |

                                                         If the option has been selected, the fuzzily aligned surfaces will be also be normalized (Fundamentals: Multi-part surfaces).  |

                                                         Merge all points with identical co-ordinates after execution (all surfaces in network)  | 
                                                    
                                                         If the option has been selected, all points of the fuzzily aligned surfaces with identical co-ordinates will be merged afterwards (Merging all polygon points with identical co-ordinates).  | 
                                                
6. Confirm with OK.
The desired surfaces in the network are aligned.
